Interesting idea, kind of pricey like you said.

This is a great idea IMO... but damn is it pricey. Where I live it's not really safe to ride on the roads (central florida: tourists, old people, and young people texting while seeding) however pretty close to my home there are miles upon miles of sidewalks that nobody uses. It would be nice to go slow enough to use those but still get a good workout in. Likewise where my parents live there's a very scenic bike trail along the intracoastal but there's a speed limit of 15mph and the cops actually enforce it :/

I must be too old school, because this sounds like a terrible idea. Who wants to go slow on a bike? This would take all the fun out of exercise.

Its better than 0mph on a trainer.

Cool but stupid expensive. For 2200$ you can buy a sweet MTB and ride it with your slower friends, that'll give you 100 watts to work with no problem.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Can you dumb this down for me? I don't think I'm understanding what it does. I am not very mechanically inclined so this is foreign to me

Funny that "ultralight" is one of the selling points.

I get the idea, I just don't see much of a market for it. I have a hard time seeing it catch on.

Why don't you just adjust your brakes to rub. Hell of a lot cheaper than $2200.
